EMBATTLED skipper Robbie Farah has returned to Wests Tigers training as he prepares to play on Monday night.

Farah hit the Concord Oval training paddock at approximately 10.30am on Friday morning, ending conjecture over whether he would make himself available for Monday night’s clash against Melbourne at Campbelltown Stadium.

“I didn’t edit any video,” Mayer said, while acknowledging it had not run in full.

“Our job is to protect players in regards to their job. Our job is to make sure they play football games. The idea is to try to keep players away from these types of questions in regards to who should be the coach, who should be the CEO or who should be the board.

“And the reality is we are trying to do that, protect the players and let them focus on playing football”.

Farah’s manager Sam Ayoub said of his star client’s training no shows: “It’s like anyone taking a day of work because they don’t feel well.

“Robbie is feeling mentally and physically unwell after the stress of the past few days. He’s come down with a bit of the flu and I emailed the club on Tuesday night to inform them he was not feeling well enough to attend training on Wednesday.”
